My bumper is gone!

well some how, my aunt found a way to backup into my rear bumper. I have a choice to replace the bumper now

It's a 98camry gen4

anyone here replaced their bumpers with aftermarket ones that they really like, or have recommendations on a rear bumper I should get?

or should i just get the regular old one

thanks in advance

You can get an aftermarket rear bumper for like 30 bucks. A toyota bumper will run you about 110 rom the dealer. (thats 10% over cost)

I'm not sure what list is but if you want to get one from the dealer I can hook you up with my discount at my dealership.

I replaced my rear bumper with a dealer bumper and it turned out perfect. I don't have any experience with the aftermarket rear bumper though.

If your going to go aftermarket, you might as well do a full kit. Otherwise it will look really tacky. There are a few place I know with decent prices for full kits.

I can get you a Primed stock bumper for $63.32 + shipping.

ummm....I don't think he wants to go for a full body kit guys....its not like he got into a crash and somebody else is gonna fork over some big bucks to him....


and to answer your question, even thought oem parts cost more, stick with an oem bumper....the fitting of an aftermarket bumper =

that's usually why they're so cheap....

if I could do it over again, I would have put my RMM lip on an oem bumper instead of the aftermarket bumper that I got for it
